I've been playing the Lore-master for a while and I must say I really, really like the class :) Very versatile and useful to the fellowship. I like the decent melee damage as well!
That said, I've been wondering whether it's worth it to use 4 traits in the red line :
+15% Fire Skill Damage
+10% Tactical Damage
-15s Cooldown of Light of the Rising Dawn
-15s Blinding Flash Duration
The damage bonus, admittedly, is quite big; but the reduction of Blinding Flash's duration to meager 5 seconds I find crippling.
I find that skill highly valuable, particularly in solo setting (or in smaller groups) - it's really a godsend. It's less useful in full fellowships, but still can save the group sometimes.
So in the end, is it worth it? I'd imagine it would be for raids, but otherwise? I plan to play a more DPS oriented LM.
